The official I have ordered/received my new Scirocco thread

[Valver.]

So Frustrated !

My car got into Port Kembla on the 18th, and it's still sitting at received and no one has an idea of when it will move.

That's life! Mine took a month from the docks to delivery and I had no accessories to install. It just depends how many cars out of each shipment are going to your specific dealer... and how incompetent they are - which is usually "very".

My dealer, who shall remain nameless, was pretty hopeless and understaffed: I could never get the sales guy on the phone and he'd always take a couple of days - if not a week - to return my calls/emails.

It's just the current new car market in Australia for many European models: demand overwhelmingly outstrips supply, so there's no real need for a high level of customer service.

Unfortunate, but true

Same here! My dealer said it could take up to two weeks before they receive it and then another 5 days with the dealer before they have it ready for me. So looking at around the 14th May! This wait is bloody painful!!!

Crazy . My dealer is trying to get a priority put in to ship it down ASAP, but who knows how long it could take!

I was pumped this morning, thinking it would probably be shipped today, dealer tomorrow, and pick up sometime later this week.

Going to suck if it's not here this week, as our only other car is booked in on the 7th for a week of insurance repairs.

I'm not trying to get my hopes up. I think 14th is worst case scenario I think, so guessing they will have it ready earlier. Been waiting about 6months for the thing!!!!

Any real idea why the hold up? Can't be that hard can it - unload off ship, store, do compliance, ship to distribution centre, ship to dealer, give to customer? I had always been under the impression that once landed a fortnight was about normal to customer delivery.

Looks good Mac!

Certainly would have chosen that colour has I not been able to get the cw.

No idea really, although the dealer mentioned they'd seen this happening more often... I should just drive up there myself

Vw are selling more cars than they ever have. Maybe the systems can't keep up with the volume. Sorry for the extended wait.

Hi all, just traded in my 125i coupe for a scirocco today. Idium gray with gps, I pick up in 10 days, can't wait!

Anyone got a pick of a Idium gray with black rims?

[Mac135]

Just took delivery of my IG on saturday after selling my 135 coupe. The bimmer and i never got on as well as we should but the r is love.

I can tell you at some point the 10 days is going to drag. I was awake at 3am and ready to head of to the dealer on the morning of the delivery.

[rbalech]

I like my 125i, but as soon as I test drove a Rocco I was drooling.... Im pretty happy about 10 days as yesterday I was told 7 months. Just had to sacrifice a sunroof.....

I'm tossing up weather or not I should paint the rims black. Any advice?

. Not from me i'm afraid my wheels are staying silver.

IMHO the best looking talle's on this site belong to she_dub on her RB though that colour might not have enough contrast though with the indium body.

My dealer just told me a customer of his who ordered not long after me (mid Jan) was just advised that his car due in June was delayed until December. Seems these cars are getting harder to get.

[rbalech]

That surprises me as I,was pretty much able to get one in every color today by ringing around sydneymdealers.

[Mac135]

Well, i was thinking the same given there are 60 something on carsales. Now admittedly some of those are likely to be teasers but VG and RB seem to be available in most states.

The choice of options might be the cause of delays. I gather from your previous post that you opted not to get the pana roof and get your car from stock

Got some good news this afternoon. My scirocco has past compliance and is waiting to be delivered to the dealership. They will be calling me tomorrow to confirm when I can pick it up! So looking mid to late next week at this stage!

Great to hear Stos! Are you getting the dealer to do any work to the car, before you pick it up?

Hopefully mine is not to far behind yours in the compliance queue
